Tiger, the 11 year old moggie, has developed a lump under his chin. He
gets these from time to time, but this seems a bit larger than normal.
I know about carcinomas that occur in injection sites, and "breast
cancer" that happens with females, and "cat acne" that can happen with

Hello friends, I am moving to Arizona and want to hear your experiences on
the following:
1. How to pest-proof the home against black widows, scorpions and snakes.
2. How do cats react when they see these creatures? Attack? Run?

As some of you may know, I started a thread about my Samba's urinary tract
infection last week. I want to thank all of you who responded to that thread
for a lot of useful information!
I had a conversation with a friend, Clive, who had an idea for an unusual

OK, this probably seems like such a stark contrast to my last message
"mousetraps," but really I like my cats (I just strongly insist they stay
off things I ask them to, that's all). Am I the only one that thinks it is

I seem to remember some correlation between UIT and Hairball Lite food but
googled and couldn't find it. It was quite a while ago that I thought I saw
the comments so my memory might be faulty.
My Isabelle has started peeing in the hall again. She undoubtedly has

One of my cats apparently has allergies.  I recall being told years ago
that antihistamines didn't work in cats, but now I'm reading some things
that suggest that they do work. But I haven't found anything very specific.
Are there veterinary antihistamines available or are people ...

History: about 3 weeks ago our 3 year old neutered DSH cat had a
urinary blockage, which was quickly cleared, but resulted in on-going
